...it's become increasingly more clear to me that of the "big three", Labour, Conservative and Reform, it's hard to tell which is worse for that country. /bleh

UK to recognise Palestine as a state in September - unless Israel meets conditions

Israel has rejected the PM's announcement and accused him of pandering to his own MPs and the French.

This is more noteworthy than France because during the last UN vote on Palestinian statehood the UK absented its vote in the 2024 Security Council vote and the Palestinian observer state status vote of 2012. Canada voted against in the latter.

I imagine South Korea and Japan will come in due course as they both voted in favour of Palestine statehood during that Security Council vote and are now more firmly in China's orbit than this time last year. Neither currently recognize Palestine as a state.

They're all pretty bad in varying degrees and it's become clear that UK is ungovernable and that not much can be done to fix things there.

I think the new UK (or even just England) that eventually stumbles from the other side of this spiraling mess will likely have little to do with the current Westministerian institutions that precede it.

IMO Rotherham is effectively the UK's institutional Chernobyl with every new bit of horrid news sapping at the legitimacy of its institutions, while Westminister, aware of its own increasing unpopularity, thrashes about in increasingly ridiculous manners, attempting to suppress dissent like a late Soviet state.

...to be clear though, Labour is not unpopular because they are progressive (they're certainly not), rather that they are trying to be like the other two regressive parties in the as for mentioned "big three".

I mean Corbyn is going to start his own party while Labour will likely go down with the Blarites.

...it's never about shame for the awful things they done to their constituencies that forces these people to resign, it always about their hands that get caught in the kitty jar. /bleh
